TANGERANG - Honda brought its legendary sports coup model, the Prelude Prototype, for the first time in Indonesia at the 2025 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS).

Previously, this car had been shown in various areas such as Asia, the United States and Europe. This model is present as part of Honda's commitment to presenting electrified vehicles that still carry Honda's sporty driving sensation.

Sales & Marketing and After Sales Director of PT Honda Prospect Motor Yusak Billy, said Honda sees that electrification must be carried out in stages and in accordance with current consumer needs.

"In many countries including Indonesia, hybrid models are now the most relevant solution because they offer efficiency without sacrificing driving performance. Honda Prelude is a real example of how hybrid technology can continue to present Honda's distinctive sporty character in more sustainable technology," said Yusak Billy, in a statement received, Wednesday, July 30.

The latest generation Honda Prelude appears with an exterior design that carries the concept of captivatingly sporty, featuring low two-door, proportional, and aerodynamic silhouettes. The front is equipped with a slim LED light and a minimalist horizontal goal, creating a clean and futuristic look. The side shows a firm line of character flowing smoothly from front to back, giving a stable and dynamic impression.

The roof that is sloping elegantly back in the fastback style strengthens the aerodynamic impression and speed, while the large wheels of sporty design and horizontal backlight emphasize the aura of high performance typical of a sports coup. The entire design shows the impression that Honda Prelude is a car created for drivers who love beauty and pleasure of driving.

The sixth generation Honda Prelude is a Sport Coupe Hybrid that carries advanced electrification technology with responsive acceleration and precision control, making it a symbol of Honda's new approach in the electrification era that retains Honda's sporty DNA.

Honda Prelude's first appearance in Indonesia is part of Honda's strategy in introducing a wider vision of future electrification to consumers. This is in line with Honda's global commitment to achieve 100 percent electrification by 2040 and carbon neutrality by 2050.

Responding to the growing global market dynamics, Honda is now positioning a hybrid model, especially the latest generation to be introduced from 2027 as the main force in the transition period towards full electrification. Through this approach, Honda targets global hybrid sales to reach 2.2 million units by 2030, as the main foundation for annual sales volume growth of more than 3.6 million units.
